BATMAN: BATTLE FOR THE COWL #2
With the destruction of Arkham Asylum and dozens of Gotham City’s most lethal villains rioting through the streets, it would seem that Nightwing, Robin and their allies have their hands full. But they hadn’t counted on the return of Batman himself! But is it really The Dark Knight? If so, why is he acting so strangely? And if not, is this a threat that could mean the destruction of Gotham?
This 3-issue series continues to shock and surprise as the battle shifts to the next level with a face-off and ending that will have everybody talking. Who has earned the right to be Batman? Who thinks they deserve it? Robin? Nightwing? Jason Todd? Who will ultimately win the BATTLE FOR THE COWL?
Well, yeah, 'course I'm getting this.
ORACLE #2
The Calculator will go to any lengths to save the life of his daughter Wendy – even if it means using remnants of the Anti-Life Equation to do so! But when Oracle intervenes, she soon finds out that the Calculator has been killing Internet hackers from across the globe to get his hands on the Equation, and the final name on his list is hers!
I hope this is good. I don't dislike Oracle, not at all, but she's not the main reason I buy (bought) Birds of Prey.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #35
Prelude to BLACKEST NIGHT! “Emerald Eclipse” continues as a Red Lantern escapes out of its sciencell and ignites a riot on Oa, forcing Guy, Kyle, Kilowog and Voz to try and prevent the ultimate jailbreak. Meanwhile, Sodam Yat and Arisia arrive on Daxam to stop Mongul and the Sinestro Corps. But how can they hope to stop an entire Corps? Plus: Sinestro arrives on Korugan in search of his daughter!
Generally like this one.
GREEN LANTERN #41
Prelude to BLACKEST NIGHT! In “Agent Orange” part 3, the truth behind the eternally corrupt Vega System is finally revealed and the Green Lantern Corps will pay dearly for uncovering the secret. Meanwhile, the greed of Agent Orange knows no bounds as his demand for the universe explodes. Plus, Hal continues to struggle with the abilities of his new power ring.
Getting this because of the "Prelude to Blackest Night" thing. Because I'm a sucker like that.
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #32
While the team struggles with the aftermath of dissolution, the cosmic force known as Starbreaker sets out to ravage the earth for a hidden source of unimaginable power. But with the team facing its own crisis, who will stand in his way?
Yeah, I think I'm giving this another chance.
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #26
Featuring three painted covers by Alex Ross depicting the entire Justice Society of America! In a very special day-in-the-life story of the JSA titled “Black Adam Ruined My Birthday,” the team celebrates the birthday of one of their own – Stargirl! Don’t miss this momentous issue.
This one sounds like potentially a lot of fun.
TEEN TITANS ANNUAL 2009 #1
Prelude to the “Deathtrap” crossover between the pages of TEEN TITANS, TITANS and VIGILANTE! Titans Tower has mysteriously come to life to attack the Teen Titans! But The Titans have one secret weapon their unknown assailant doesn’t know about. Will they be able to use this weapon in time to save themselves? Find out as the story continues in TITANS #12! And be sure to check out the awesome interlocking covers by Andrew Robinson spanning the entire “Deathtrap” story that create one massive image!
TITANS #12
“Deathtrap” Part 1 of 5! Completely unhinged, Jericho continues his assault upon his former teammates. As if that wasn’t enough, he also draws the Teen Titans into his twisted plot. And the Vigilante makes it his mission to stop Jericho – permanently! Continued in VIGILANTE #5!
I am not, however, going to pick up Vigilante 5. Probably.
SECRET SIX #8
It's a special double date issue as the surviving members of the Six take a night on the town in that disturbing way that only they can do. It's dinner and a movie with bullets and bloodshed in an all-romance (with violence) issue you won't want to miss! Plus, what does Ragdoll dream about? Um, it’s not for the squeamish.
I totally love this book; every month it's one of the most entertaining things in the box.
WONDER WOMAN #31
“Rise of the Olympian!” Two warrior cultures collide as Diana finally faces off against the invulnerable champion of Zeus known as Achilles – the demi-god warrior reincarnated to replace Wonder Woman! Also, we learn more about the monstrous creature Genocide as a key member of the supporting cast hovers near death. The story that changes Diana's status quo forever continues!
And I'm not ready to give up on that one quite yet.
SCOOBY-DOO #143
The White House has an unexpected guest! The Scooby Gang will have to find the secret behind the Wicked Witch of the West Wing before the government gets scared silly!
For the ten-year-old, of course. :)
BLACKEST NIGHT SERIES 1 ACTION FIGURES
DC Direct is proud to produce action figures for the event of the summer – the beginning of the highly anticipated “Blackest Night” storyline!
Included in this series are Earth-2 Superman, the first member of the lifeless, emotionless, Black Lanterns to be revealed; Boodikka, the veteran corpsman who was among the first to become a member of the Green Lantern Corps’ own policing unit, the Alpha Lanterns; Saint Walker, the first member of the Blue Lantern Corps, which champions hope in the universe; and Atrocitus, Abin Sur’s killer and the first to utilize the power of blood and rage to become a member of the Red Lantern Corps, which is out to destroy both the Sinestro and Green Lantern Corps!
The one I might want is Boodikka. Mainly because it looks like it comes with a faceplate of her original look. As for the others, I'm thinking not.
